Thanks for all the input. I'm thinking about going all out and purchase some more expensive oils for a healing salve. The oils I am considering are: avocado, emu, wheat germ and squalane. Also I wanted to try murumuru butter. I have never heard of tucuma butter before but it sounds like it has...

Since winter/cold season is in full effect. Those of us with small ones know they are not the best about blowing their nose the proper way. Mine tend to either 1) go through a box of tissues leaving them scattered about; not really blowing just wiping 2) using their shirts if can't get to...

She thought that was hilarious! Thanks! She loves animals, especially squirrels! Cause she is one!

Nice looking soap! Just wondering though.. I have been out of making CP goats milk soap for 10 years. Why don't you like using coconut oil?

Maybe. Bombs can be tricky. I rarely add more oil to base mix. Maybe a few sprays of alcohol/witch hazel. Too much alcohol makes a powder too much witch hazel sets off the citric acid. If I have bombs that will not form into my ball mold, I spray each half with witch hazel and leave them...

I love pickle juice. Sounds nuts but would fill up a squirt gun with pickle juice.

My 5 year old got very sick on Friday. She has never been sick. I know, amazing! I thought when she started kindergarten she was going to be sick a lot since she didn't go to preschool and wasn't exposed to many germs. This cold hit her hard. Yesterday, she said, "Mommy, I think rode thorns or...

When you were trying to make the minis, were you nearing the end of your batch? The longer my mixture sits, the more difficult it can be to work with. If I'm making smaller bombs I start those first.

Great job! Such smooth looking salt bars!

Very fun looking. The confetti look reminds me of when I was little and took gymnastics. They had a foam pit, some of of foam was speckled like your soap!

Thanks ya'll! I use mini clay cutters to make embeds. I also put embeds inside bomb to get a whirling/bobbing effect while dissolving in water.

Are you sick of me yet? Sorry, nobody really understands my bath bomb obession. I used some colored epsom salts in this mix. Not sure I'd the addition of salts, or larger embeds caused them to crack when I unmolded. Uggh first two crumbled on the the flip and I was so sad. Work work put into...

Thank you. Rain songs. I like to do my stuff toward music.. I love music. I create with it. Rain drops Fallin on My Head... Too cliche.

I use polysorbate for my colors . Powder lakes are not water or oil soluble. They are oil DISPERSIBLE. This is key for me.

Hmm. A bit confused. Your polysorbate seems high. What dry ingredients are you going to use? Keep it simple. I only use 2 types of carrier oils, plus fragrance and a very small amount of polysorbate. How many ounces of dry ingredients? Amount?

I live near Pinehurst, NC The golf capital of the USA. Also near one the largest Army bases, Fort Bragg. Very mild climate but can be brutally hot and humid in the summer. We have had a very mild winter. Which isn't helping freeze 'skeeter's.

oh yes, I use baking soda. It's probably 48% of my base recipe. Citric acid is the most important aspect of a bomb. It produces the fizzies..

Thank you.. okay, maybe I should rename it rain-something. Used China Rain fragrance oil but don't really care for that name.

After nailing down my floater recipe, I decided to create this bomb. I think I used too many tear embeds. Do they look like tears to you?

After tweaking my recipe, I decided to test my twinkle twinkle bomb after my embed extruder fail today. Hot dog! I am thrilled. This bad boy whirled around the tub for over 15 minutes!
